There was some confusion over the previous poll "What is your favorite stroke?", as the word "favorite" can be interpreted many different ways. For example, someone may think it's his/her favorite because it's most graceful and likes to watch this stroke the most, but he/she may not necessarily swim this stroke.
So this is the new poll.
Please only select the stroke you PERSONALLY train and spend most time swimming (and thinking about).

I would agree with this to an extent. A certain amount of volume is required to build the endurance neccesary to swim at 110% for those 200 yards or meters. Sprints in practice are a great way to accomplish some of that but I would never think of swimming a sprint unless I had at least 4-5 hundred yards of warmup under my belt.
